I'm not sure if anyone would see a relation to Gluster with "gcvm".

glfs-heketi is still my 1st choice :)

The program heketi-cli was at first created as a sample application for developers, but now that we will be working on it to be used by users, I am not sure if the name is appropriate, and is probably confusing.  My question is, should the program still be called "heketi-cli"?.  I am thinking it should be called something along the lines of GlusterFS-family-like program:
